To all 'whomlitmay concern i Be it known that we,` BERNARD Dworsn and SAMSAMBAR, subjects ofthe Czar of Russiaand ,residents of Newark, county of Essex, and State ofNew Jersey, have invented. certain new. and useful Improve ments in' Heating Apparatus, of which the y following is a specification.

This invention relates to aA heating apparatus that is adapted for use in a small heating plant, being particularly designed I tobeused in connection `with a stove range,

or gasv range, whereby a house equipped with 'no heating apparatus, but with the cooking facilities, can utilize a part ofthe cookingl apparatus to heat the boiler of the The invention is designed to provide a heatingv apparatus of this kind which is simple,-is automatic in its operation and does not necessitate .the use of av safety valve, and is not subjected to damage by eX- plosionor like accidents.

. The invention is further 4designed to provide a heating system in which the feeding of the water into the systemis easily regulated, andA in which thev return pipe-from the radiator is disposed in the water supply.l mechanism so that condensation of steam` onits return to ythe radiator is insured,- whereby` the `objectionable feature of anadrni'ssion of steamis avoided, and furthermore, thejfeed water ,is lslightly heated .so as to.V remove., its chill, and the heating ofthe water` in` the'` boiler is therefore easy.

i `llie invention isillustrated in the accom:A

panying drawing,jin which the single figure illustrates one typeofpthey system in a diagrammatic way, so that the operation of the mechanism and thecoperationof the parts iseasily understood, but it will be "identfthat the dispositions "of the parts can be changed, and that the ,particular construction of the individual parts of the Specification of Letters Patent.

is kept in the stove for the purpose of cooking, land the heat is thus utilized in keeping tlnnhelwater in the boiler hot and causing it to Above the boiler 10 is a steam chamber 13, although it will be evident that the form of this steam chamber can be changed as desired. A pipe 14 leads from the boiler, being led from `the steam chamber to a radiator 15. The pipe 14 can be 'provided with any form of controlling device, such as valves, these, however, being common and not being illustrated in the drawing. The pipe 14e is preferably led into the radiator at the top, but the particular point of entry is not limited to the top but can be disposed at any point found suitable. A return pipe 16 connects with the radiator,

- preferably at the bottom, and conducts the condensed steam in the form of water from the radiator. The receptacle 17 is not made air tight, being open to the atmosphere and is adapted to hold water and forms a reservoir for the boiler, the receptacle being so placed .that the water level 18 in the receptacle is the same as the water level 19 in the boiler. A pipe 20 connects the receptacle 17 with thev boiler 10, the pipe being placed below the water level with its inlet 21 preferably placed near the bottom of the receptacle, the pipe having a trap 22 therein, although if necessary the trap can be dis pensed with. The pipe 20 insures the water levels in the receptacle and boiler being substantially the same.

A water supply pipe 23 is provided with an enlargement 24 which forms a chamber fed by a pipe 25 which is a portion of the Awater supply pipe, the pipe 23 having a faucet 26 which is opened and closed, ac-

a `loat 27 which is connected by an arm` 28 to the valve mechanism of the faucet, so that a rising water level will. close the faucet by means of the float. In the pipe 16 is placed a coil 29 which is within the cham-v cording to the elevation and depressing of through the pipe 31 it will be deposited in the receptacle 17. The radiator is disposed at any suitable point, and the system is particularly designed for heatmg one or two rooms froman ordinary kitchen range or stove, this device being particularly adapted for heating bed rooms and the like from the kitchen stove without the employment of any additional heating apparatus than thel stove and the hereinbefore described mechanism.

The operation of the device 1s sun le, as

when the water inthe boiler' 10 bois the. `steam passes through the pipe 1,4 into the radiator 15 and thus heats up the radiator,

Ithe radiator being of any desired type and not bein limited to the form that is illustrated. he return pipe 16 conducts the water from the radiator, and any steam that is present with the water, through the coil .29 Where its condensation is assured by receptacle 17 1s supplied with Water by means of thejautomatlcally operated faucet 26, and when the Water level in the boiler goes down, water from the receptacle 17 .passes through the pipe 20 and into the boilerso as to insure the boiler being sup- ,plied with the proper amount of Water.

The pipe 31 acts as a direct outlet for steam whenever the steani pressure forces the water inv the boiler downward to the level ofthe pipe 20.

We have found this system to be eiicient, and being automatic in its operation it requires very little attention and is also economical through its use of the heat from4 a coal rstove or range, the heat of such stove being, under ordinary conditions, wasted, except for the heat that radiates from the stove into the one room in which the stove is situated.

By our improved system `heat can be radiated into a separate roomy by placing the radiator 15 in said separate room, thus con ducting heat by means of steam from the room in which the stove is situated. Having thus described our invention, we claim:

l. A heating apparatus comprising a boiler, a radiator, a water receptacle open to the atmosphere, the level of water in the receptacle being the same as that in the -boiler, a pipe connecting the boiler and the receptacle, a feed pipe arranged to discharge into said receptacle, an automatic means on the feed pipe for maintaining a predetermined level of water in the receptacle, a pipe connecting the boiler with the radiator, a return pipe from the radiator to the receptacle, and a chamber in the feed pipe through which the return pipe passes.

2. A heating apparatus comprising a boiler, a radiator, a water receptacle open to the atmosphere, the level of water in the receptacle being the same as that in the boiler, .a pipe connecting the boiler and the receptacle, a vent pipe on the said connecting pipe and extending abovethe level of the water of the receptacle, a Water feed pipe for the receptacle, an automatic means on said feed pipe for maintaining a predetermined level of Water in the receptacle,

a pipe connecting the boiler with the radiator, a return pipe from the radiator to the receptacle, and a chamber in the feed pipe through which the return pipe passes.

3. A heating apparatus comprising a boiler, a water receptacle open to the atmosphere, the boiler vand receptacle being so disposed that Ytheir, water levels are substantially the same, a pipecOnneCtinO the re# ceptacle and the boiler below the water level, the pipe having a trap therein, a vent pipe on the pipe that connects the boiler and the receptacle, a water supply pipe, a float operated mechanism on the Water supply pipe for regulating the f iow of water to maintain a predetermined Water level in the ref ceptacle, a radiator, a pipe connecting the Vradiator and the boiler, and a return pipe leading from the radiator and having its outlet in the receptacle.

4. A heating apparatus comprising a boiler, a water receptacle open to the atmosphere, the boiler and receptacle being so. disposed that their water levels are substantially the same, a pipe connecting the receptacle ,and the boiler below the water level, the pipe having a trap therein, a vent pipe on the pipe that connects the boiler and the receptacle, a water supply pipe, a float operated mechanism on the water supply pipe for regulating the flow of Water to maintain a predetermined water level, a radiator, a pipe connecting the radiator and the boiler, a chamber in the water supply pipe, and a. return pipe leading from the radiator, the return pipe being formed into a coil within the chamber, the outlet of the return pipe being so disposed that it empties into the water receptacle. g

In .testimony that we 'claim the foregoing, we have hereto set 'our hands, this 3rd day of October, 1914. v
